Chapter 1251

Under the guidance of the lieutenant, I came to a tent nearby. As soon as I entered the tent, I saw the telephone earphone placed on an ammunition box. Two soldiers sitting in the tent saw me enter the door and quickly stood up to salute me.

I nodded at them, then put the earphone to my ear, heard the voice of watujing coming from inside, and said in a hurry: "Hello, senior general. You are calling at this time. Do you have any instructions

Unexpectedly, watujing suddenly asked in a serious tone, "is there anyone else around you?"

"Yes, senior general." I glanced inside the tent and said, "there's another lieutenant and two soldiers, both of them signalmen."

"Let them avoid it." "What we're going to talk about next, we can't let them hear it," watujing said in an unquestionable tone

I covered the microphone and looked around at the lieutenant and his men in the tent. I hesitated about what to say to them. However, the lieutenant was obviously very insightful. Seeing my action, he immediately waved to his subordinates, and then the three left the tent together.

When I was the only one left in the tent, I immediately said to watujing, "Comrade General, now I am the only one left in the tent. If you have anything important, please tell me."

"Comrade oshanina, first of all, I would like to extend my congratulations to you. After winning successive victories in leading the liberation of bergorod and Kharkov, your group army has successfully liberated ijum and achieved the reunion with the main force of the southwest front army." Watujing did not directly say what it was. Instead, he praised me first, and then said, "Comrade Stalin was very happy when he heard about your achievements. He offered to give awards to all division commanders, regimental commanders, and other commanders and political workers. At the same time, commanders at the level of your group army will be awarded the first-class Medal of the patriotic war. "

Because he is not "like this, comrade oshanina." When vatukin heard my question, he hesitated a little and said, "Comrade Stalin has called me specially to ask for your opinions and see what your next step is."

When I heard him say that, my heart sank. My heart said that again. Do I have to go to work? I took a deep breath and tried to ask in a smooth tone, "Comrade General, I don't know how the Supreme Commander himself plans to arrange me?"

"Two choices. One is to continue to stay in the army. After a short rest in iqumu, the whole army marched in the direction of priluki, ready to take part in the battle to liberate Kiev. " Vatukin's tone became stable again: "second, go to work in the local area. According to Comrade Stalin, if you go to work in the local area, you may still have some say in making decisions in the house next to Red Square in a few years. Or after the liberation of Ukraine, you will work in Kiev as deputy to Comrade Khrushchev. "

Watujing's words made my heart beat faster and I began to weigh up my power. A few years later, I had a certain say in important affairs, that is to say, I would have the opportunity to enter the highest level committee in the future and become one of the most powerful dozens of people. This proposal inevitably shakes my original idea of staying in the army.

"Comrade oshanina, what do you think?" "If you make up your mind, I can reply to Comrade Stalin immediately," he said on the phone

"Comrade General, please... Please wait a little longer and let me think about it again." Hearing the urging of watujing, I answered in a flurried way: "this matter is of great importance. I need to think about it again."

"I'll give you two minutes." "In two minutes, you will give me a final reply, because Comrade Stalin is still waiting for my reply," said vatukin flatly

I quickly thought about the advantages and disadvantages between staying in the front and working in the rear. If more than ten minutes ago, I never thought about working in the past, but the "pie" that watujing threw out made me hesitant.

"It's two minutes," watujing's voice came out through the receiver again, but I didn't have an accurate answer in my heart. He then asked, "how about it? Have you considered it?"

At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that I had been trying to avoid working in the rear since I crossed the world. Because of the cultural differences between the East and the west, some of my abnormal actions may not be easy to be detected in the war field. But if I go to the rear office and deal with those old greasy guys every day, they may soon find their flaws. Thinking of this, I said decisively to watujing, "senior general, I've thought about it!"

"What's your decision?" Watugin asked tentatively.

"I decided to stay on the front line with my soldiers." In order not to let watujing down, I added: "I have been in the front line for two years and have adapted to the life here. If I am transferred to the rear at this time, I think I will have to find a way to adapt to that environment myself for a long time. Instead of that, I'd better stay at the front line, stay with my soldiers and think about how to win more battles. "

After I had finished, I immediately held my breath and listened to watujing's reaction. Unexpectedly, he was relieved and said, "o'shanina, I knew you wouldn't go back to work. Your departure is a great loss to our entire Voronezh front army. " Although I know that watujing's evaluation of me is a bit exaggerated, I also understand that he said this in the hope that I can continue to serve as commander of the sixth group army of the guards. When launching a campaign like this, I have at least one army that can hold hands. I stopped for a moment, and then said, "senior general, after the successive offensive battles of bergorod, Kharkov and ijum, the sixth group army of the guards suffered heavy casualties and depleted ammunition. I don't know when you can replenish us?"“ At present, all units are facing the same situation as you. It may be difficult to get timely replenishment. " Perhaps to ease my heart, he added, "but I will give priority to the supplement to your army."
